Third
Line of defence

First line
Skin / Physical barrier
Gland (Tear glands / sebaceous glands)
Contain lysozymes
Ex: Stomach-HCl acids

Mucus membranes
Cells lining at certain tract // comes with cilia
Examples: respiratory tract, urinary tract,reproductive
system
This mucus membrane secretes a protective layer of
mucus

Second line of defence

PHAGOCYTIC WHITE BLOOD CELL
(Neutrophils & Monocytes)

Phagocyte = A cell that is able to engulf

and break down foreign particle and
disease- producing microbe
Phagocytosis = The process by which
food particles are engulf and broken down
by phagocytic cell.

Process of phagocytosis
